Senator McCain flunks the "English" test!!!
Presidential candidate John McCain was presiding over a town hall meeting in Pipersville, Pennsylvania a couple of days ago when the audience let out a roar of applause that was loud enough to make anyone walking by think there'd be no reason to vote, because McCain's "got it in the bag".
Not so fast!
The deafening applause was the result of a question McCain was asked by a woman in the audience; "Why, as an American, do I have to push a button to speak English or hear English?"
After the applause died down, McCain said, "I think you struck a nerve."
The woman went on to say, "I tell you, I really get ticked. I really do."
McCain said, "I can tell!"
The woman then said, "And then you go into Lowe's, and it says 'entrada'. And every utility bill you get has got a foreign language on it."
McCain's response was, "I understand your frustration. There is a great thing about America, and that is we welcome all people (pause) We are the great, great nation that brings people together from all (pause) backgrounds and languages and cultures. And we love the Hispanic heritage, (pause) we love the Irish heritage, we love all the heritages (pause) that has enriched our country."
SHORT COMMENTARY:
What a load of politically correct HORSE MANURE!!!
This lady isn't the only American who's sick and BEEN sick about other languages being forced upon us and causing English speaking Americans to have to take lots of extra time for (what used to be) routine tasks to be addressed and taken care of.
I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN...WE HAVE TREATED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WITH KID GLOVES FOR WAY TOO LONG!!! IT'S NOW GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE HERE LEGALLY HAVE DECIDED TO NOT LEARN ENGLISH!!! CAN YOU BLAME THEM?!? THEY SEE THAT POLITICIANS LIKE McCAIN WON'T STAND UP AND DO ANYTHING. NOR WILL POLICE CHIEFS LIKE THIS BRATTON GUY WE HAVE HERE IN LOS ANGELES. NOR WILL OUR LATINO MAYOR, A MAYOR WHO IS BEST KNOWN AS A GUY WHO HAS TROUBLE KEEPING HIS PANTS ON!!!
WHEN WE CUT THROUGH THE CRAP, WE SEE THAT THE MAJORITY OF ILLEGALS COME HERE TO "GAME THE SYSTEM". AND "GAME IT" THEY DO!!! THEY GET FREE HEALTH CARE, FREE SCHOOLING, AUTOMATIC U.S. CITIZENSHIP FOR A CHILD THE ILLEGAL IS EITHER THE MOTHER OR FATHER OF, SYMPATHY FROM POLITICALLY CONNECTED BLEEDING HEART ACTIVISTS AND I COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON...
AND WHEN THE ILLEGALS ARE ASKED ABOUT LEARNING TO SPEAK ENGLISH IN THIS SO-CALLED NEW "HOMELAND" OF THEIRS? THE PERSON ASKING THE QUESTION GETS A LOOK OF SCORN THAT SAYS IN ESSENCE; "ENGLISH?" WE DON'T NEED TO SPEAK NO BLEEPING ENGLISH!!! WE'RE TAKING OVER!!!
And if you think that isn't true, you haven't been paying attention.
OIL!!!
Here's an interesting bit of trivia on top of the news about American oil companies being on the verge of signing lucrative oil deals with Iraq. Deals that a lot of Iraqis are against because the deals seem to favor the American oil companies too much.
We were all told that the invasion of Iraq, a war that has gone on for more than 5 years, had nothing to do with oil. It was about WMD's, 9/11, Saddam's a bad guy, etc., etc. One out of three was true. But Saddam was a bad guy all along, including when he was an "ally" of ours! WMD's? B.S.! 9/11? No connection at all! TOTAL B.S.!!!
Here's the Iraq oil trivia item. When Baghdad fell in 2003, because of all the chaos, things were very scary there. American troops weren't ordered to protect Iraq's National Museum, Iraq's National Library or Iraq's Health Ministry. American troops were ordered to protect Iraq's OIL Ministry!!!
Hmmmm....
OSAMA bin LADEN!!!
This is the guy who's responsible for 9/11!!! And for almost SEVEN YEARS, this tall, turban headed ugly assassin has been thumbing his nose at us. This past June 30, there was a terrific front page story in the L.A. Daily News about the so-called "hunt" for Osama bin Laden by us. A "hunt" that has been stymied by our so-called ally, Pakistan and a "hunt" that has repeatedly been victimized by clueless Bush bureaucrats who can't seem to be able to get out of their own way while driving U.S. Special Operations warriors and CIA warriors CRAZY!!! You are encouraged to read this story and you'll have more reasons to understand why we need to rid ourselves of this administration ASAP.

A THOUGHT FOR JOHN McCAIN TO PONDER!!!
We're told that John McCain hasn't decided on his running mate and in fact, is having a very difficult time coming to a decision.
The feeling here is that both candidates could be well served if they chose a terrific person nobody has really thought about.
There's a guy in his 50's who recently retired. We all agree that our economy SUCKS!!! This guy in his 50's who recently retired knows a lot about prosperity!!!
Do you think John McCain would ever give serious consideration to BILL GATES as his running mate? Just a thought.
RUSH LIMBAUGH!!!
Zev Chafets has written a 9-page story about Rush Limbaugh that will appear in Sunday's NY Times Magazine, this Sunday, July 6th.
I've read it. I think it's terrific!
Hold on, now! If you're a fan of Rush's, you might think my recommendation would indicate this 9-page NY Times Magazine story is a "hatchet job" of some kind.
You would be wrong to think that way. It isn't a "hatchet job" and I think Rush will love it!!!
I also think Rush Limbaugh will go down in history as one of the greatest "snake oil salesmen" in the history of broadcasting, if not the greatest! But he's also a good entertainer. And I don't think he's wrong all the time. Just a lot of the time which is probably most of the time.
In this NY Times Magazine story about Rush, we learn (among other things) that Rush Limbaugh is in favor of a 17% FLAT TAX for all Americans. Ya know what? SO AM I!!!
Rush and I are definitely on the same page regarding illegal immigrants. Rush and I are very different when it comes to Us vs. Them when the "Them" are fellow Americans who don't happen to be the same sex or ethnicity of "Us". But yeah, he's most of the time successful at being "entertaining" when he's being "hurtful", too.
Nothing "hurtful" about the 9-page, July 6, NY Times Magazine story on Rush Limbaugh. Check it out!
HAPPY 4th OF JULY EVERYONE AND PLEASE STOP TO TAKE A SECOND TO UNDERSTAND WHAT "INDEPENDENCE DAY" REALLY MEANS!!!

THE NEXT BLOG? Unless something unexpected comes up, a week from today. As a rule, a new blog is posted every Wednesday afternoon (late) or (early) Wednesday evening.
Not so fast!
